[00:05:16] [Verse 1

[00:05:16] Learning to kill is a matter of habit

[00:05:16] The more you have done it, the better you're at it

[00:05:16] It starts on the alleys of Sechem at night

[00:05:16] The borderlines blur in the evening light

[00:05:16] A rifle butt bangs on an old rusty door

[00:05:16] " Where is your father? Get down on the floor!"

[00:05:16] Soon it gets serious, a curfew's declared

[00:05:16] The city falls silent, there's death in the air

[00:05:16] Cocking his weapon with shaking fingers

[00:05:16] Grits his teeth as he's hugging the trigger

[00:05:16] Young blood rushes, his heart pounds

[00:05:16] He knows it gets easier the next time around

[00:05:16] They're just objects and shadows, not women and men

[00:05:16] Learning to kill is a natural thing

[00:05:16] [Verse 2

[00:05:16] Learning to fear is a matter of habit

[00:05:16] The more you have done it, the better you're at it

[00:05:16] News from above reach the street

[00:05:16] There's no hope of living, the end is so near

[00:05:16] Tidings of terror, a raven's crow

[00:05:16] Shutter your windows, lock up your homes

[00:05:16] We're just a handful, a tiny country

[00:05:16] Surrounded by evil, they won't let us be

[00:05:16] They have hate in their hearts and in all that they bring

[00:05:16] Learning to fear is a natural thing

[00:05:16] [Verse 3

[00:05:16] Cruelty is a matter of habit

[00:05:16] The more you've seen it, the better you're at it

[00:05:16] Every boy has a tyrant's desire

[00:05:16] Hands behind the head, legs spread wide

[00:05:16] These are times of danger, times of despair

[00:05:16] No room for compassion, a soldier can't care

[00:05:16] Our neighbors are vermin, they're used to the blood

[00:05:16] How can they feel pain when they're living in the mud?

[00:05:16] Through cruel routine a soldier is born

[00:05:16] Ignorance soon turns to evil in war

[00:05:16] Israel's land is for Israel's kin

[00:05:16] Cruelty comes as a natural thing

[00:05:16] [Verse 4

[00:05:16] Learning to love is a natural thing

[00:05:16] It will find a way if you just let it in

[00:05:16] It will be strange at first, but then you'll see it

[00:05:16] That learning to love is a matter of being

[00:05:16] Being human is a matter of habit

[00:05:16] A few baby steps, then you get better at it

[00:05:16] To be for one minute, just now, just recall

[00:05:16] The opposite side of the towering walls

[00:05:16] But our hearts have hardened along with our skin

[00:05:16] We built a bubble and let no one else in

[00:05:16] We'll be staring in wonder as the angel falls

[00:05:16] Then being human will be a matter of course

[00:05:16] Will be a matter of course
